    Travelling MH from Sydney

    I used Chef on call a couple of times pre covid on MH. Once was on the 2215 flight where I ordered the Beef short ribs not even considering it's be the pre landing meal, was still good for breakfast😀

    AA to book MH flight

    In another twist, i decided i'd try and book the CX flight, no matter which flight i choose it comes up with an error and to select a different fare. I'll just pay cash this time but i hope availability and ability to actually book is sorted soon ;(

    Today's Learnings (MH Flexible Earn on QF & Combined Classic Reward Bookings)

    Sorry I was wrong on 2 parts, it was Flex Y not discount economy and it was 2100 points total. 1000 for the BKK-KUL leg and 1100 for KUL-SYD I booked MH, when i got home i claimed through QF and sent my boarding passes and itinerary. Upon receipt of the SC and Points i queried it and they...

    AA to book MH flight

    Has anyone been able to find any MH availability using AA points recently? they used to be easy to grab, but over recent months i've been looking to book BKK-KUL-SYD and found absolutely nothing MH, thought i'd check just the KUL-SYD leg and still nothing. CX is available, some RJ/CX combos...

    Today's Learnings (MH Flexible Earn on QF & Combined Classic Reward Bookings)

    I extended a stay in Thailand by 3 days at the cost of $2500 for a one way J ticket home.. MH BKK-KUL-SYD and made the mistake of crediting to QF. 45 SC and 1100 points, apparently all MH flights credit as discount economy to QF.

    A couple of questions from an AAdvantage newbie

    Has there been changed or a tightening of the ability to use AA points from Aus? In years gone by I've found plenty of availability on SYD-BKK route, mostly via KUL. Just looking ahead to a trip in June/July next year and the vast majority of days come up with zilch. Similar looking at Thais...

    A couple of questions from an AAdvantage newbie

    Cheers mate, i'll give that a go. The Singapore issued card has close to interbank rates so should be all good on the FX. Edit, payment failed, likely the card end but theyre a PITA to contact and deal with so i'll suck up the FX fees with Amex. Still much better than being stuck in the...

    A couple of questions from an AAdvantage newbie

    Each time i've booked with AA i've had to call them as their system wont accept my payment. Anyone know a workaround for this? what occurs is although my address etc is Australian, it always fills the country as US, when i attempt to change it to Aus it tells me i need to book on the Aussie...

    When was the last commercial passenger flight you took?

    October last year, a roster change presented the opportunity for a quick 8 night getaway to Thailand, thankful i did given the current situation is likely ruining my next cultural adventure and the next opportunity will be over a year away ;( also reminded me why i started buying points and...

    Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion

    Is it still possible to cancel Lifemiles redemptions up to 12 months after you booked? I deliberately missed a flight in order to have a few extra days away and am only just now considering calling them to cancel the booking, changing flight was no good as availability was non existent at the...

    Interpreting the Thai Award chart

    Quoting myself just to add info in case anyone else is considering TG for their MR before the “enhancement” but would like to know they’re not outrageous with their charges, Syd-BkK return is a smidge under $160 in taxes for J. Sorry for adding another notification:p

    Interpreting the Thai Award chart

    Sorry to hijack, as i havent currently got any miles in ROP im unable to view the redemption pages etc, Any idea of what the taxes and fees are like on a SYD-BKK return ticket in J? I think its the most likely place for my MR as i dont want to play the waitlist game with KF or AM Cheers.
